Maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1

What is the maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1?
I load cursor from 1000x1000 .png file using GDI+:
Bitmap *image = Bitmap::FromStream(pStream);
UINT w = image->GetWidth(), h = image->GetHeight();
HBITMAP bmpMask;
HBITMAP bmpColor;
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpMask);
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpColor);
ICONINFO iconInfo;
iconInfo.fIcon = FALSE;
iconInfo.xHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.yHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.hbmMask = bmpMask;
iconInfo.hbmColor = bmpColor;
hCursor = ::CreateIconIndirect(&iconInfo);
If it will be necessary, ask me and I'll provide full source code of application.
In Windows 7 all is OK. Cursor dimentions 1000x1000.
But there is strange thing - it scales on Windows 8.1 to 32x32 size. Enabling compatibility modes doesn't help. Is it OS limitation?
Thanks in advance for response.

probably. 1000x1000 is a large cursor size!

No mouse cursor during Windows 8.1 OSD

Hi,
I have a problem that is bugging me. Not really a biggie but a frustrating one.
When deploying Windows 8.1 using a MDT 2013 TS from CM12R2 the mouse cursor gets disabled when the OS reboots into minisetup/windows.
As long as the TS is in WinPE all is fine, but once rebooted the cursor goes away and comes back only when the TS completes.
The mouse is enabled as I can fool around with it and find where it is by clicking like a madman until a window gets highlighted.
Deploying different DELL workstations/laptops, all with the same symptom.
BR /T

To my knowledge this is simply because of the Z-ordering of the windows during Windows setup.
The question though is why does it matter? You shouldn't be doing anything interactive a this point in the TS.

Controlling Mouse Cursor in Windows

In J2SE, i found java.awt.Robot that enable in handling mouse event and action. Now i want to handle the cursor using Java handheld. But i stuck here, that i cant found the class in J2ME. Are there anyway do this thing?
Please help..:(

Hi,
You can use bluetooth connection to send command to pc where ur J2SE program will listen to the command and control the mouse accordingly.
For example if u want to move ur cursor 50 pixels left, you can send command from ur mobile L50 which ur java program will receive and use java.awt.Robot to move the cursor.

Programmatically change mouse cursor size

LV 8.5 on Windows XP
Is there a way to change the size of the mouse cursor (custom or otherwise) programmatically? I can load custom cursors using included vi's but can't find a way to change the size - the cursor vi's are locked so I don't know what is going on behind them.
Thanks

smercurio,
I had found that thread but the API example is written in 5.1, unfortunately I have wiped this machine several times since running 7.1 and would rather not reinstall if I can avoid it. (As I understand it 7.X can open the 5.X and THEN I can open in 8.X)
I will look around for a machine running 7 and go from there but any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks again!

Hp Pavilion 23 Blank Screen With Mouse Cursor After Hp Logo (Not Windows Logo)

Hello my computer wont start up all i get is a black screen but i have a mouse cursor. after a little bit the computer will restart and do a automatic repair but nothing happens it just keeps on rebooting. i tired to do a bio update but it seems to not be working. there is no option in the bios to update or even in UEFI. i also did a harddrive test and got a Short DST Check fail (FAILURE ID: 909HVX-0007K0-WPU2XF-60WH03) but i still can get access to the harddrive using a Linux LiveUSB and all files are there. (Product Number Is : H5P60AAR#ABA)

It is possible to receive a false DST check but not common.
It doesn't mean your hard has failed but that it is in imminent danger of failing.
You can try again but this time using the Extended DST test.
But before doing anything I suggest you back up all your important data using that live Linux boot disk just in case.
Every hard disk manufacturer has their own diagnostic boot cd/usb. Google it.
You should create one and run it for your brand hard drive.
You should be able to determine which brand you have from the BIOS/UEFI hardware tab.
While your'e in there double check that your boot priority is set to hard drive first.
Your other issue seems to be the dreaded 'Automatic Repair Loop' which could be caused by your possibly failing hard dirve. I would fully diagnose the hard drive first.
Here's a link with several suggested fixes. Some of them require a Windows 8 boot disk, other do not.

Windows 8.1 Charms not Showing when moving mouse cursor into corners (Hot Corners)

I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and recently my charms bars no longer display if I move the mouse cursor into the corners of the screen. However, if I press the shortcuts e.g. Win-C the bars do show.
I've check under PC Settings > PC and devices > Corners and Edges and also Taskbar > properties > Navigation and in both places both of the options under 'Corner Navigation' are enabled.

Hi,
Please re-register the Windows immersive control panel to check the result:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml
Or you can set a registry to enable charm hint:
Open registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\
Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.
Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 0.
If all methods cannot work, try to use dism command to perform an online fix:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

PC h8-1330a with NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 after windows log in black window with only mouse cursor

Hi
PC is an h8-1330a, and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 with driver version 9.18.13.270 dated 29/08/13. connected to a samsung TV via HDMI cable. It is running windows 8.1 OS.
I have installed 1 additiona TV tuner card but otherwise the system is standard HP configuration as it was shipped.
I suspect I have had an automatic windows update mess with the pc as I turned it on and after reaching the windows log in screen and logging in, pc appears to boot into windows and I only see a black screen with the mouse cursor. I can ctrl+alt+del and see task manager but no other windows will display. I tried to switch users and log in with a different account and get the same issue.
I am struggling to enter safe mode or any other mode on boot up to see if i can roll back the video driver.
i have tried hitting esc then f11 to do a restore to no avail.
I cannot seem to enter safe mode on boot up via shift+f11 or f11.
my Dad has the same PC and is not seeing this issue.
wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can try?
hoping to try a software fix before trying different video cards/monitors to isolate the issue.
cheers,
andrew
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks,
Shift + Restart from the log in screen finally got me into safe mode where i was able to perform a system restore

No mouse cursor on one monitor - Windows 7 Boot Camp

Hello,
I installed Windows 7, and ran the boot camp installer; however, since then, my mouse cursor does not appear on one of my two monitors. I can still click on things (if I can figure out where my invisible mouse is), but the arrow itself is just gone. This is only the case within Windows; mouse works fine on the Mac end.
Hardware in question:
Computer - Mac Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card
Monitor with issue - Hannspree widescreen monitor connected via HDMI cable + HDMI to mini DV adaptor
Other monitor - hp fullscreen monitor, connected via VGA
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my NVIDIA drivers on windows, because the mouse shenanigans seemed to start after this step in the Bootcamp installation process.
Any ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks very much.

Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

Hello All
Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
name?
thanks
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

Disabling a mouse cursor in LV window using LV 6.1

Hi, I need to Disable/Enable the mouse cursor programatically in LV Window using LV 6.1
{Mouse cursor can be visible,but should not be activated when it is disabled).Is there any DLL's available?
Regards
Murali

You can use the EnableWindow function from user32.dll to disable all input in your front panel window. Use the FindWindow function to find the handle. I'm posting an example of this.
There's also the BlockInput function in there, for comparison, but you probably won't want to use that one because it blocks ALL input.
Try to take over the world!

Showing a "Please wait..." window / Changing mouse cursor to hourglass

Can one of the following be done using javascript:
1) Show a "Please wait" window (when using synchronous SOAP requests) with the ability to "hide" it
2) Change the mouse cursor to hourglass
I went over the JS API and found nothing, any ideas?

Was the PDF opened within a web browser and was the PDF on a web server?

Mouse cursor size does not accurately reflect brush size

Mouse cursor does not reflect brush size in Photoshop CS5 on an iMac 10.5 OS. If I try to draw two parallel lines with the edges touching by aligning the edge of the cursor circle, there is a gap between the lines, no matter how hard I set the brush.
I am using a Wacom Intuous 4 mouse, but the problem persists with the standard mouse after I remove the Wacom driver, so the Wacom people say this is a photoshop problem.
Cursor size is larger than the effect size whether I am using the paint brush, history brush, clone or healing brush.

Bingo!
The Mac OS setting seems to have been the culprit
Thanks
